“When tomorrow starts without me, and i’m not there, to see if the sun should rise. You find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, more. Each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that my mom came, and called my name, she took me by the hand and said my place was ready in heaven far above, and that i’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love”

Life story

Jesus, tell my nanny she's the prettiest girl in heaven. Tell her that we miss her, you'll know which one she is, she’s sat next to her husband and son catching up on what they missed. With every gust of wind, we know its very clear, that the prettiest girl in heaven is telling us she’s here.

My nanny sadly passed away at the age of 69. Her favourite holiday was Christmas, every year growing up she would always have the biggest tree you could ever find, in the same corner of her living room, absolutely filled up with presents for her family. She consistently showed love, compassion, support, care, and respect to anyone who walked through her front door. She never carried hate or negativity, no matter what happened in her life she always held her head high and remained positive. This is something I carry with me and strive for. It's hard to stay happy when I'm so angry she was taken too soon. I wish she were here to share her wise words, and knowledge with me.

I wish nothing more than to have her with us today. She was the glue that held us all together.

We miss you nanny.
